The report comes from Vulture who asserts that Snyder’s Star Wars entry will be a standalone project not a “numbered” trilogy entry (meaning it’s not episode 7, 8, or 9). Details are very scarce at this point but there are a few things we do know – assuming that Vulture’s information is accurate (and doesn’t change as development ramps up).

As mentioned, the film is expected to be a stand-alone story set in the Star Wars universe and NOT a trilogy entry. The Samurai Story will take place after Episode VI and likely tell a story that occurs in the same timeframe as Episodes VII, VIII, and IX. The setup is loosely based on Seven Samurai, the 1954 classic from Akira Kurosawa.

First, we pay to see the movies in theaters. Then we buy the DVDs and/or Blurays. Then we buy the merchandise (toys, books, ect.) and collectibles. Then, we repeat in a few years! If collecting was expensive when there were only six movies and a show...just wait.
